Safety Messages to Installers and Users
It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This beacon
is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar with and will
follow all applicable national and local codes in the country of use.
This beacon should be considered a part of the warning system and not the
entire warning system.
The selection of the mounting location for the beacon, its controls and the
routing of the wiring are to be accomplished under the direction of the facilities
engineer and the safety engineer. In addition, listed below are some other
important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this
equipment.
• To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is
applied. Failure to observe this warning may lead to serious injury or death.
• Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety in hazardous locations may be
endangered if additional openings or other alterations are made in units
specically designed for use in these locations.
• Do not connect this beacon to the system when power is on.
• After installation, ensure that all threaded joints are properly tightened.
• Keep the unit tightly closed when in operation.
• After installation, test the beacon system to ensure that it is operating
properly.
• After testing is complete, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all
personnel.
• Brass inserts have the potential to store charge when they are not plugged.
Consideration should be taken to prevent these from becoming a sparking
hazard.
• The lens guard has the potential to store charge. Consideration should be
taken to prevent this from becoming a sparking hazard.
• Establish a procedure to routinely check the beacon system for proper
activation and operation.
• Maximum ash frequency is 90 FPM.
• This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D;
Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; Class III or non-hazardous locations
only.

• WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do not disconnect the equipment
unless power has been switched o or unless the area is known to be non-
hazardous.
• WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do not remove or replace the
fuse when energized.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
With respect to the potential electrostatic charging hazard as mentioned in the
certicate “Specic Conditions of Use”, under normal conditions of use, these
devices are for xed installations and not generally in contact with people.
The risk of ignition is low. In addition, maintenance, cleaning, and extreme
environmental factors (ex. high velocity dust laden atmospheres or high pressure
steam) should be taken into account by the end user, using local Explosive
Atmosphere (Ex) Electrical installations design, selection, inspection, and
maintenance Codes and Standards. Cleaning of the devices should only be
done with a damp cloth.

Specic Conditions of Use:
1. The Modular Visual LED has external non-metallic surfaces which may
provided a potential electrostatic charging hazard.
See the manufacturer’s instructions for further information.
2. The Modular Visual LED has metallic components in the non-metallic
walls of the enclosure which can store electrical charge and therefore may
provide a potential electrostatic charging hazard. The metallic brass inserts
have a capacitance of 14 pF. The metallic guard has a capacitance of 18
pF. See the manufacturer’s instructions for further information.
cULus Zone Certications:
This equipment is for use in Class I, Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous
(classied) locations. It has been investigated with reference to risks to life
and property and for conformity to the installation and use in provisions of
Articles 505 and 506 of NFPA 70 (NEC).
These models use protections:
Class I, Zone 1, AEx db op is IIC T4 Gb or AEx db eb op is IIC T4 Gb
Zone 21, AEx op is tb IIIC T135°C Db IP66 (Tamb= -55°C to+70°C)
Ex db op is IIC T4 Gb or Ex db eb op is IIC T4 Gb
Ex op is tb IIIC T135°C Db IP66 (Tamb= -55°C to+70°C)
Unpacking the Beacon
EXPLOSION HAZARD: A damaged lens can lead to explosions, causing
serious injury or death. If a lens is damaged, it must be replaced.
After unpacking the beacon, examine it for damage that may have occurred
in transit. If it has been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it. File a
claim immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of the damage. Carefully
check all envelopes, shipping labels, and tags before removing or discarding
them. Disposal of all shipping materials must be carried out in accordance with
national and local codes and standards. If any parts are missing, please call
Federal Signal Customer Support at [phone] or [phone].
Creating Combination Fixtures in the Field
The Federal Signal Global Series Ex de products can be connected together
in the eld using interchangeable E-box end caps and a proprietary coupling
system. The proprietary coupling system allows for simple and cost eective,
wiring from product to product, often eliminating the need for expensive Ex
wiring practices and Ex rated glands.

Figure 1 Beacon and sounder combination xture
The E-box is available only when factory installed on an Ex d unit or when used
as a E-box spacer adjoining an existing E-box. Refer to the accessories listed
on page 25 for available options. When creating certain xture combinations,
it is necessary to replace the E-box end caps before mounting the product. If
you are creating combination xtures, refer to instruction manual 25500259 for
specic instructions and details.
A note about combination xtures: If the product is Ex db marked, it is for use
in gas atmospheres. If the product is Ex db e marked, it uses increased-safety
terminal enclosures and is for use in gas atmospheres. The product is Ex tb
marked for use in dust atmospheres.
